Frequently Asked Questions about devctl

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema

How do I bootstrap a local minikube environment for all services?▼

To bootstrap a local minikube environment, run the CLI bootstrap command to automatically set up the local cluster and deploy all services. This orchestrates minikube, kubectl, and kustomize with a single command.

What is the best way to manage local Kubernetes service development?▼

Managing local Kubernetes service development is best handled by a single CLI wrapper that applies kustomize configurations and orchestrates minikube clusters for day-to-day workflows like starting, stopping, and watching services.

How do I start, stop, and watch individual services in a local cluster?▼

To start, stop, and watch individual services in a local cluster, use service-scoped CLI commands. These commands wrap kubectl and minikube operations to manage specific services during day-to-day development.

Can I manage /etc/hosts mappings for local development services?▼

Yes, you can manage /etc/hosts mappings for local development services. The CLI automatically applies host mappings to ensure local stack routing stays in sync with deployed services.

Do I need kustomize to deploy services to a local minikube cluster?▼

Yes, kustomize is required as the CLI uses it internally to apply configurations when deploying services to a local minikube cluster. The wrapper relies on kustomize alongside kubectl for environment variable configuration and orchestration.

How does the CLI handle errors when orchestrating local dev environments?▼

The CLI handles errors in local dev environments by implementing safe defaults and clear error handling throughout its minikube, kubectl, and kustomize wrapper commands. This ensures reliable execution of day-to-day development workflows.
